I've listened to Those Girls. It's pretty graphic and raw--not what I like in a suspense novel. I want to be entertained and feel frissons of fear; I don't want to feel disgusted and sickened as I was with this one.

This is an audio and video. I know, video would go under the Media thread, but, personally, I will primarily be using the audio, so that's the reason for the post on this thread.

Ligonier Ministries has a download and video on The Book of Job, both for one price of $5.00. The list price is $24.00.

This is one of their Friday (only) specials. I hope that that means that the deal goes through at least 12 midnight Eastern Time U.S. (Ligonier is based near Orlando, which is in the Eastern Time Zone).

The presentation is by a fellow by the name of Derek Thomas. He is a prolific author. I listened to the free first message on the webpage whose URL that I'm about to give you; he is erudite, and obviously knowledgeable on the subject (his (one of his?) dissertations was on the book of Job).

The ebook may have been posted before, but I don't remember about the Whispersync deal. If so, you who passed it by the first time get a second chance at it.

The WS deal is for Unknown Seas: The Portuguese Captains and the Passage to India, by Ronald Watkins. It is $1.99. Do not adjust your set--it's $1.99. This is thanks, in large part, to a $0.00 price right now on the ebook.

The ebook--it's rated 4.4, from 25 reviews, at Amazon; about 4.20, from 44 ratings at GoodReads.

I had previously bought the ebook; for some reason I didn't purchase the Audible narration then (maybe it's gone down in price since then? that would be unusual, but still might have happened). Anyway, I'm going to pick up the $1.99 narration as soon as I get through with this post. Which is just about now.

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bow.l Whispersync deal.

4.5 stars, from 1,574 reviews at Amazon; 4.04 from 33,079 (no kidding) ratings at GoodReads. National Book Award, #1 seller in Kindle store or regular Amazon book store in three categories, etc., etc., etc. I'd say the book is very popular, and very, very good.

At $6.98, this Whispersync deal is a little bit higher in price than the highest that I like to post. But the ratings are very high (4.5 stars, from 247 reviews at Amazon). And the book is very big--546 pages. And, I confess, the subject is one that personally fascinates me.
